"and as chance and the gods would have it, the Pentoshi cog Gay Abandon, carrying two Targaryen princes, sailed straight into their teeth."
― George R.R. Martin, Fire & Blood
Reaping the Harvest Months have passed since the decisive battle that saw House Targaryen emerge victorious. Rhaenyra, now firmly entrenched as king regnant, surveys their domain with satisfaction. Their efforts to foster unity among the disparate factions seem to be bearing fruit; trade routes once disrupted by war are reopening, and commerce is beginning to thrive again. Yet despite these signs of progress, whispers still circulate about lingering resentment among certain factions. Undeterred, Rhaenyra redoubles their commitment to diplomacy, determined to quell dissent before it can ignite another conflagration. As they travels throughout the kingdom, visiting various regions and meeting with local leaders, Rhaenyra takes note of those who remain skeptical or hostile toward their reign.
A Gathering Storm Despite their best efforts to promote unity, Rhaenyra cannot ignore the persistent rumors of discontent simmering beneath the surface. Some whisper that House Lannister harbors designs on the Iron Throne, while others claim that the Tyrells seek to break away from the realm entirely. Even within their own court, whispers of betrayal and conspiracy begin to circulate. Determined to root out any potential threats, Rhaenyra calls for a grand gathering of nobles at King's Landing. They invites representatives from every major house in Westeros, hoping to establish open channels of communication and defuse tensions before they escalate into violence. As guests arrive from across the continent, Rhaenyra watches closely for signs of discord or deceit. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to them, a shadowy figure lurks in the shadows, watching and waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. Scene Three: Uneasy Alliances At the lavish banquet held in honor of the assembled nobility, Rhaenyra addresses their guests with poise and confidence.
